And Andyj look at those placky boxes stacked according to size!!!!
Only prob is how the hell do you use the bench grinder up there

It gets pulled down onto a bench - once I've cleared all the gunk/spanners/spare carbs off it. What you can't see is the mig, compressor, metal cabinet full of small 'spares' for the various bikes, spare Divvy engine, TDM swing arm, bike batteries, full set of hard luggage etc. etc. etc.

- and my wife accuses me of being a hoarder!

Sadly, right now all the fridge has in it is about 4 dozen eggs. My little sextet of chickens haven't yet stopped laying and the orders haven't been so frequent recently . If only the bitches stopped eating & shitting so much.

Bag came from a mate of mine who used to be Honda works mechanic on the (nearly ready) NR500 for Mick Grant and Takasumi Katayama.
In fact he still has a bank of four carbs for the NR secreted about his house.

Thinking of re=naming Wicky, Poirot.

Ah. But is that 5 bikes and a raised bike bench? Gotta be worth kudos.

[tdm850rider]

That man has the biggest chin I have ever seen.

That may be why he has a 17,000 square foot garage... so he can turn around without bumping a wall.
(His garage also has a self contained paint shop and a full machine shop.)
(I have the space behind the mini-van. )

I must have spent the last hour or two watching videos of various cars/motorcycles... addicting.

[sidestand]

Recharged camera battery now - but it's dark outside
so here's some better ones, complete with a couple of bikes lurking at the back !
Still untidy though







Just to save peoples askin' questions

1. The suzuki is my old 1976 GT500 stroker, that I've owned from '77 (last on the road in '89 & needs restoring)
2. The Trumpet is a 900 triple Adventurer
3. The Fazer is up on the ramp with it's innards out to replace a duff waterpump

Ah, a fellow chicken owner. Know what you mean about the eating and shitting.
